Everything You Need To Know From Level-5’s Vision

There are a portion of games companies that choose to shun press conferences like E3 for announcing future games. One company that has been doing this for quite some time is the Japanese developer and publisher Level-5. This is a company that might not be all that familiar to all of you, but this does not mean that they have not produced some big titles. In fact they are one of the champions of pure RPG games in Japan. They are also one of the companies that looks to innovate in that area. After all, they made one of the best puzzle games ever, Professor Layton. They are also masters of the beautiful. In the past they have joined forces with some of the greatest animation studios in Japan, including Studio Ghibli.

I open with Inazuma 11 as it is my favourite soccer game ever. It is like playing PES combined with real time Pokèmon. There are already about 4 or 5 games out there, 4 of which have been released in Australia. Give them a look if you can, you will not regret it. There is no sign in this trailer of what new gameplay techniques may be coming into the title yet, it seems like a fairly generic introduction so far.

Plus there is the cool looking watch. Interestingly this talks about connecting to a gaming device, could this be for the Nintendo NX?

In an interesting move, Layton appears to be moving away from the professor and his top hat. Instead this game is headlined by his closest relative, Catherine (I am fairly sure that will be her name). She gets to take over the puzzle solving duties with the aid of a small dog. Once again this title is set in London and it is looking to become a charm like always.
